Jon: “That will open up some free space for a wine rack or in Tom’s case a place to stack the dues money.”
In Jon’s case, he would put his 8-track in there along with his collection of Lennon Sister tapes.

Bernie, you just take my breathe away with your most eloquent command of the English language…..no one tells it clearer than you. LOL!
Safe travels,

Mr. Mark…would you please send me your email address to jimmy@switchhits.com so I can send you a private message? Thank you.

Mr.Mark,
I think I have everything in good shape now. Ohhhhhhh I’m sure I am going to need a set of batteries but I think Tom don’t have enough space for the money so if I pay cash I am going to wait a while till he makes room. Although an IOU don’t take up much space. Once I got the breaker changed and plugged in the coach, that evening everything looked back to normal.

Call me now or call me later Stevie boy….

Jon, although still having a breaker panel, it is remote mounted in the bay with electrical acuators that turn the a/c breakers on and off. All d/c is once again in differant locations with a module that although as a automotive type fuse as a fail safe, has a programable value that can be set as well as heavier start up values for those applications that draw more amps on initial fire up….

My point exactly………..
I understand converters wanting to keep pace with technology, but just because the technology is available it doesn’t mean it might be the best choice.
Compare the list of devices that can fail on a circuit in which a switch is the only open or close device in the path of current from the source to the device such as a light. Then compare the number of devices that have to open or close just to turn on a light as the coaches have evolved.
By devices I mean even the items in the circuitry that have to “communicate” with something else as part of the process of delivering power to a light.
For a remotely located coach in storage I completely understand the benefit of being able to monitor the coach, its power, temperatures, and turn things on or off as required via a phone. That’s neat stuff and has a real value. But to me the BS I have to go through just to open a pocket door from the kitchen side is as stupid as the remote monitoring is smart. Somewhere common sense has to come into play.
-
Jon, I presume that despite your frustration, installing a switch to operate the door is not a feasible or practical option?
-
It might be an option, but to maintain a highly finished conversion great lengths have gone into assembling the final product so there are no exposed fasteners, so everything is plumbed or routed so there is no clue there are wires routed, and I think from our perspective it will stay as it is. Now we open the door to the washer / dryer for privacy. It doesn’t completely close things off, but with the front shades down it is good enough.
That’s one area in which the Elegant Lady isn’t so elegant.

Jon,
Just to let you know, we have buttons on both sides of the bedroom door. On the kitchen side, it’s behind a small cabinet door along with the air conditioning thermostats. On the bedroom side, it’s right there next to the door along with several light switches. If you don’t ‘hold the button’ when closing the door, a female voice comes on …’please hold the button to activate the door’.
In the rear bath, I can close the bedroom door or the bathroom door.
But opening the swing half-bath door or either of our two closet doors blocks views to the bedroom from the front.
If the fresh tank starts to get low, a voice comes on (trying to remember the exact wording)…’potable tank approaching empty’, and for the grey/black tank, ‘holding tank approaching full’…. and she won’t stop until you fill/empty or turn off the ‘alarm’.
Mark
